Veterinarian Visit

We're talking about pets this week at The Pa-Paw Patch, and we had the privilege of a visit from one of our local veterinarians, Dr. Jessica Hilderbran, from Vale Veterinary Hospital!

Olympics Week - February 17-21

What a week of competition, gold medals, torches, and learning about the Olympics!  It's been an exciting week!  Here's what we did...

Winter Olympic Sensory Tub
 We created a really fun sensory tub for our Olympic theme that focused on geography and Russian culture.

Valentine's Day Cake Decorating!

What a fun day we've had!  Since we were closed two days last week, we moved our Valentine cake decorating, along with our Valentine's parties, to today.  This morning, those who signed up for a cake got to make it pretty with lots of sprinkles and icing!  Here's pictures from our fun morning (and there are quite a few!).

Valentine's Week - February 10-14 - And Happy Anniversary, Pa-Paw Patch!

Happy 14th anniversary to The Pa-Paw Patch!

Goodnight Week - February 3-7

We've had a fun week talking all about nighttime!  We've learned about bedtime and bedtime routines, like brushing our teeth and taking a bath.  We've also learned about nighttime animals, stars, and the moon.  We've read classic stories, like Goodnight Moon and Good Night, Gorilla.  Here are pictures from our week of yawning and learning!

The one-year-olds made glitter moon and star pictures, sponge painted owls, and enjoyed a pajama day.  They also did a few experiments, like making "elephant toothpaste", and the classic baking soda and vinegar bubble fest!
